    Dinner was good - menu selection was average - had the Swordfish, guests had the Burger and the Pork Chop. Dessert options were limited to 3 items - we chose the Milkshake which was good.

    We had a great time here at their New Years, Eve party the food was delicious. We decided to come back and try this restaurant. The server greeted us and told us she was so busy but would come back and take our order. We ordered salmon and she came back and said they ran out, that the salmon was off. We opted for the halibut, it was tasty but a very small piece. It was way over valued. After reading these reviews it looks like they had a change in staff since January, everyone is complaining about lack of service, food taste and value. Sad it wasn’t better, I thought it might be a great find as I live close by.

    Great spot for a date night with your spouse. Everyone we came in contact with was above and beyond nice. The food was excellent. We had the halibut, Brussel sprouts, and crispy potatoes. It was perfect. We are looking forward to our next visit.

    We were very excited to try ox and ocean out as we live in Westlake and love the drive to the ocean. We arrived for Sunday brunch and receded fairly quickly with our reservation. And then sat there and waited. Must’ve been nearly half an hour for them even to bring us coffee and water. I had to get up and go ask the bartender to get a waiter to our table. And then the lady who came who was very nice and took our order and served us. I think she was one of your secretary or clerical staff. She brought the coffee without sugar. We had to wait for that. Our food took forever and ever. Coffee refills were not very quick and coming. And we had to wait forever and ever and ever to get our bill. Aside from the good meal we had, with such lousy service I doubt we will be back.

    It took 10 minutes for someone to greet us at the front desk. Our waiter went on break and the person that took over for him forgot about us. My family had to walk to the bar to get refills on water. Waitress walked by our table several times, even though we asked for water refills twice. Food was good, service not so much.

    The ambience and the service were outstanding. The food was not very good. We both had halibut which was extremely overpriced and a very small portion. It’s too bad as we live around the corner and we’re looking g forward to having a place we could walk to
